IT companies shows signs of recruitments

The ongoing campus recruitment at Mysore's National Institute of Engineering (NIE), if taken as a cue, indicates that IT companies are perhaps beginning to hire again.

NIE has recorded an all-time high placement during the recent campus recruitment season 2011-12. The recruitment is likely to reach 100 per cent as it is still in progress.

"The recruitment is still in progress and going by the response of the companies, the campus recruitment during this season is likely to reach 100 per cent," said NIE Principal G L Shekar, who has every reason to be happy over the performance of his students.

Of the 70 companies that have come for recruitmenat, 45 are IT companies. The remaining 25 companies are from the core engineering sector. So far, they have recruited 431 engineering students, exceeding the figures of last year. This works out to 94 per cent placement of the eligible students. Those who have secured placement will join their respective companies in August 2012.

Going by the branch-wise recruitment, Shekar said computer science and engineering (CS&E) lead with 98 per cent students finding favour by the placement companies, followed by industrial production (IP) 96 per cent.

While in electronics & communications the placement was 95 per cent, electrical and electronics and civil engineering were on a par at 93 per cent.
